Consultation on repealing sections of the Equality Act

On 15th May the Government Equalities office announced a consultation on repealing sections of the Equality Act.

Northamptonshire
Rights and Equality Council have developed a site to assist you in

of protect from third party harassment, the repealing of the wider
powers of tribunals, and the withdrawal of use of equality
questionnaires. Further details on the proposals can be found on the
site

The
site will enable you to write to you Northamptonshire MP and to the
Government Equalities Office on the consultation in one fell swoop and
suggest some words you might wish to use to defend your existing rights

The
aim of this research is to explore the barriers that face parents when
accessing pre-school provision for their children in Leicester. Many
parents of disabled children feel very strongly about the benefits that
childcare can have both for themselves and their disabled children –
particularly socially and developmentally. However, the wrong childcare
situation can have negative consequences and this is very much
influenced by the experience and confidence of the workers at a setting.
A common theme among all parents consulted was the perception that
accessing information and places is a constant battle and struggle.

The key objectives:

• use of childcare for their disabled children and the factors that influence this experiences and perceptions of childcare • gaps and needs in childcare provision for disabled children • the cost of childcare for disabled children • working and childcare for disabled children
